Smriti Mandhana Smashes Fastest ODI Ton By An Indian Women’s Batter In Rajkot
Niranjan Shah Stadium: India skipper Smriti Mandhana smashed the fastest ODI hundred by an India women’s batter when she hit a 70-ball ton during the third and final match of the series against Ireland at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot on Wednesday.
After electing to bat first in a dead rubber game, with India already taking an unpassable 2-0 lead, Smriti put out yet another fantastic show with the bat to take Ireland’s bowlers to the cleaners and hit her tenth ODI century in 70 deliveries.
Through this, she went past regular skipper Harmanpreet Kaur’s record of hitting the fastest ton, which came off in 87 balls against South Africa in Bengaluru last year. Smriti eventually made 135 off 80 balls – laced with 12 fours and seven sixes at a strike-rate of 170.9.
